 Please read this note: In an attempt to reduce both spam and other
 abuses, all fax numbers have been deleted from this list, and all
 email addresses have had the "at-sign" @ in them replaced by ".AT." --
 the four characters dot, A, T, dot. If you want to email anybody
 listed here, just copy the address into your mail program, find the
 ".AT." somewhere in the middle of it, and replace those four letters
 with just one "at-sign". Sorry to have to do this, but it was
 necessary.

Credits, Sources, Disclaimers, etc.

 This document contains a list of "libertarian oriented" organizations.
 Some organizations included may not be specifically libertarian, but
 share a common view with libertarians on one or more issues. Sources
 used to be listed here, but there are too many to list now; most of
 the current info has come from the Web, as you might expect.

 Obviously, nothing here should be taken as implying either (a) that
 any of these organizations endorse the principles or platform of the
 Libertarian Party, (b) that any of these organizations endorse
 eachother's goals or beliefs, or (c) that either libertarians in
 general or the Libertarian Party in particular agree with everything
 that these organizations stand for. Libertarianism is a very deep and
 wide movement; there are many overlapping communities of thought both
 within that movement and with others.

 Comments, corrections, and additions are always welcome; please send
 them to rab.AT.daft.com Please refer to the "Last-modified"
 information above when you do so. Please don't send email that says
 ``Why don't you have so-and-so listed?'' unless you also include
 contact information for the organization you're concerned about. Note:
 this list is for organizations that have a physical address; if there
 is a Web page or an Email contact it is also listed. If you don't have
 a physical address, you can't be listed here. Sorry. Please don't
 assume that anything ``conservative'' must of necessity be of interest
 to Libertarians; the overlap between libertarians and conservatives is
 relatively small and certainly no larger than that between
 libertarians and liberals. Both are important, but ultimately
 peripheral.

 Any listing which cannot be verified or contacted for six months or
 more may be marked "DEFUNCT" and/or removed to the defunct
 organizations list, which may be reviewed at
 http://www.daft.com/~rab/liberty/lo-defunct.html if you like. When I
 can verify an organization's information, a line giving the date will
 be appended to its entry, looking like this:
 [1999.09.02]

 This document began life in 1994 as a (text-only) Usenet ``FAQ'' file
 which was created and maintained by Paul Schmidt
 pschmidt.AT.world.std.com of the Advocates for Self Government. It was
 first converted into HTML by Jeffrey Breen job.AT.NovPapyrus.com and
 that HTML was extensively edited and improved by Bob Bickford
 rab.AT.daft.com who also re-formatted all of the entries (whew!) into
 a standard format. It has grown a great deal since then, and Bob
 continues to actively maintain the document, and welcomes your input
 (see above).

Additional Resources

 There are many other lists of organizations out there; one of the
 largest -- and longest-published -- is the Index On Liberty published
 by a Norwegian libertarian newsletter. A copy of this list is online
 at http://clipper.spinnaker.com/liberty/docs/index.txt Note that many
 of the entries have out-of-date contact information (regrettably, this
 is a persistent problem for all such lists, including mine).

 Also of interest is the directory of various (mostly quite old) files
 listing "libertarian organizations" both in the USA and abroad, found
 at
 http://www.mit.edu/activities/libertarians/libertarians/Reference/Orga
 nizations/

 Most other lists I've seen tend to be conservative and thus not of
 much interest to Libertarians.

Abortion

 Note: the Libertarian Party has often used the slogan "We're
 pro-choice on everything." because that is (largely) true. But just
 like the rest of the population, there is a range of opinions on this
 difficult subject within the movement. Most positions are well-covered
 by existing (non-Libertarian) groups, but a non-religious case against
 abortion is one of the few that isn't. Hence the listing below.

   Formed to argue that abortion is aggression under general
   libertarian principles. Reasoning is expressly philosophical
   rather than religious. Founded 1976. Regrettably, they make the
   same mistake (assuming what one is trying to prove) that most
   debaters on both sides of this subject make.

   Infamous throughout the libertarian movement in the 1980s and
   early 1990s for their founders' repeated slanderous attacks on
   Libertarian Party candidates, this group has matured somewhat
   and appears to have settled down to the serious (even if likely
   futile) business of trying to persuade Republicans to embrace
   the ideas of Liberty. Although annoying when they confuse
   conservative ideas with libertarian ones, they are nonetheless
   interesting. Web site was down for a long time and recently
   restored.
